A professor at a public university in Texas is under investigation from school administrators for allegedly forcing students in her graphic design class to create anti-gun posters for a personal anti-gun campaign she had launched.

[Regionally accredited] Midwestern State University Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Betty Stewart confirmed to Campus Reform Friday the school has launched an investigation into professor Jennifer Yucus’ conduct after a student filed an official complaint on Thursday.

According to the complaint, obtained by Campus Reform, the professor compelled students in her graphic design class to create artwork opposing firearms on campus and opposing pro-gun legislation currently pending before the Texas state legislature.

The professor then used the artwork students created online to publicize an anti-gun petition entitled “MSU is anti-Concealed Carry on Campus” and on a now deleted Facebook page opposing firearms, says the complaint.

“On Monday, April 1, around 7 PM (class was 5:30 – 8:20), Jennifer Yucus, Assistant Professor of Graphic Art/Design, compelled students from her Computers For Artists class to advocate in favor of a political petition opposing firearms on campus, in opposition to a pair of bills currently before the Texas legislature, using personal art materials and MSU resources,” reads the complaint.

“Several of my classmates were uncomfortable with the assignment and either quietly or openly expressed this,” it continues. “Professor Yucus asked students to rationalize objections by thinking of it as a job from an employer (or words to that effect).”

The complaint adds that Yucus “did require all works to include the URL to the petition” she had created and adds that students were photographed while crafting the posters to give the illusion of youth support.

“Professor Yucus took photos of her students in the process of drafting and creating the posters, but did not say how these would be used,” says the complaint. “The posters were then hung in the hallways of the Fain Arts building, giving the impression of student support.”

Some of the photos later appeared on an anti-gun Facebook page that appeared to have been created by Yucus. The page appeared to have been deleted after the complaint was filed, but Campus Reform was able to capture the posted images before they were removed.

According to the complaint, Yucus used her official university-issued e-mail address to later forward a URL to her petition to the entire class.

State law in Texas appears to forbid professors at public universities from using their authority to compel others to advocate for political causes.

A former Florida Atlantic University associate dean fired over an embarrassing freedom of expression incident at the Boca Raton campus — which made national news and had the religious alt right in a frenzy — has lost her appeal of the dismissal of her lawsuit against the university.

The decision is expected to close the book on a controversy that FAU could have done without.

Rozalia Williams, a black woman close to retirement when she was canned, claimed racial, age and gender discrimination in her April 2013 firing after she suspended a student who wouldn't stomp on a piece of paper with the word Jesus on it as part of a classroom exercise.

Then-student Ryan Rotela refused to complete the multicultural studies exercise on religious grounds, and Williams suspended him from classes after he allegedly threatened his professor during a heated argument over the assignment.

Within hours, the quiet school became a symbol of an alleged leftist, anti-religion conspiracy in higher education, and for that Williams paid dearly.

She was fired within weeks, officially because she failed to follow the procedures in place to discipline Rotela, a commuting student from Coral Springs.

So in 2015, Williams sued the FAU Board of Trustees and then-Vice President For Student Affairs Charles Brown in a federal court in Fort Lauderdale.

In her complaint, Williams alleged her firing was the result of discrimination and retaliation. A part of her argument was that she was replaced by a white man five years younger.

Last year, U.S. District Darrin Gayles dismissed the lawsuit, saying that “her poor handling” of the Rotela incident, and nothing else, caused the dismissal.

“[Williams] was very firm and defiant in her belief she was discriminated against,” said Brown’s attorney, Christopher Whitelock. “But it was always clear she made a mistake suspending the kid without checking with her superiors. This caused the school a lot of adverse publicity. Either she panicked or simply didn’t know what she was doing, but her decision caused the school to become a media circus for a year.”

Neither Williams, who is now on the hook for nearly $15,000 in court costs, nor her lawyer returned calls for comment.

Said Whitelock: “It took five years, but this should end the controversy once and for all.”

When will teachers finally figure out that they are there to teach students a certain course of study that they ( the students ) enrolled in, not, repeat not, there to train good little clones of the instructor. It appears to me that some instructors believe that the positions they hold at a school belongs to them and it's a little private kingdom where they get to be God. They are paid to do a job, not indoctrinate someone else's children.
